Hello, visiting Japan in May 2024.
We're landing in Narita and are planning to visit Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima & Hokkaido.
Is the full JR Pass the only option or is there a cheaper alternative with regional passes?
Thanks!

Hi there,
It depends on how many days you'll be traveling, but I think you could look at either a 14 or 21 day Japan Rail Pass. Travel to Hiroshima and Hokkaido is especially costly without a pass. You're going all across the country, so the JR Pass is the only option in terms of passes.
The only alternative would be looking at flights.
Kind regards,
Daniel
